Sad Horse

Liner Notes
Happy Lunar New Year of the Red Horse!
Lyrics
Intro C F G7 C
G7 C F G Sad Horse, You’ve been working all day, G7 C F G Sad Horse, For so little pay, G G7 If you got treated the way horse do, G You’d be feeling pretty sad too.
Sad horse, Gonna burn it all down, Sad horse, sick of working for clowns, It’s time to kick against the man, Start a revolution while you still can,
Sad Horse, sick of eating the hay, Sad Horse, look for a better way, While they are dining on oysters and wine, You’ve been having a really bad time.
Sad Horse, it’s a happy new year, Sad Horse, filled with oppression and fear, When will China’s freedom come, Will the Red Horse be the one?

Thanks for listening @fabkebab, no matter how advanced AI gets, it will never be able to have fun! The bottom right is a steel tongue-drum, I don't get to use it very often.

I saw a story about the sad horses -- I'm so glad you turned this into a song! Love the (relatable) inner life you give this horse, including going all the way at the end. This is great!

I don't know if this was meant to be funny but it made me laugh, in a good way. This was a fun and catchy song that made me smile and I appreciate that.
The ridiculous hat didn't give it away? Though funny in a bleak dystopian sense, as the way Chinese workers associated the manufacturing mistake with the misery of their 9am-9pm, 6 days a week life, is quite sad for real.

Not so much about the song but I love the effort you have put into the video - there is no AI that can do what you are doing and I love it! Maybe its the way you say "horse" or the little drum but this has an Irish feel to it. Very catchy with the repeated lines, I like the gourd-like intrument in the bottom right and your dedication to horsey things in each of the embedded performances. The details made this a lot of fun! Well done!
